GROWING OLD GRAcEFULLY.-To grow
old gracefully and keep the heart still
young is difficult problem and one which
is not successfully solved by large num-
Der of people. Failing eyes, grey hairs,
crows feet and bald heads are unfailing in
dications to the outside world that the pos
SCISSOR is not enjoying that heyday of hu-
man existence dsnominated golden youth,
and this fact impresses itself so deeply up
on the minds of some people as to render
existence almost a burden. They cannot
enjoy the innocent sports of childhood be-
cause. alas! their childhood days have pass
ed. They have no patience with the fes-
tivities, pastimes, follies and firtations of
young men and maidens because they can
10 longer take part In them. They
watch with sad, eager eyes each day for
additional impressions made by father time
on their countenauces, and seek with sour
ness of soul and limited success to putty up
his tracks.
And thus they grow old-prematurely it
may be-because of the constant, useless,
unavalliDg war with the inevitable. In
other persons, however, the case is entirely
different. They grow old so gracefully
that they do not appear to grow old at all.
They cultivate the acquaintance of young
hearts-enter into their sympathies, delight
in their pastimes, and enjoy their p essares.
Day by day they mark the encroachments
of time, but inwardly laugh because he is
powerless 10 freeze out the warm, youthful,
glowing impulses of cheerful soul. And
thus by keeping open house in the hear
they are in sympathy with old and young
and shed about their pathway day by day
a radius of human glory of which an ange
might be proud. A cheerful old, old ag'
life. .-DanuHle Register.

unpublished poem by Lord Byron.l
When she is gone, the loved. the best, the one
Whose smile has gladdened, though perchanca
undone;
Whose name, too dearly cherished to impart,
Dies on the lip. but trembles in the heart;
Whose sudden mention can almost convulse
And tighten through the ungovernable pulse.
TIL the heart leaps so keenly to the word
We fear that throb can hardly beat unheard,
Then sinks at once beneath that sickly chill
That follows when we find her absent still:
When such Is gone, too far again to bless.
Oh. God how slowly comes forgetfulness;
Let none complain how faithless and how
brief
The brains remembrance of the bosom's GRIEF;
Or. ere they thus for bid us to forget,
Let Mercy strip the memory of regret.
Yet-selfsh still-we would not be forgot:
What lip dare say. my love. remember nots"
Oh, best and dearest, whose thrilling name
Ny heart adores too deeply to proclaim!
My memory, almost ceasing to repine.
Would mount to hope If once secure Of thine.
Meantime the tale weave must mournful be.
As absence to the heart that lives on thee.

Thou art the shrine of all my care,
For all my love is center'G there.

Oft when gaze in thy dark eyes,
With fear, I tremble with surprise
To see the depths within,
From whence the soul seems peeping thro',
Waiting its time TO VIII and do.

I'll give to thee my watchful care,
And ask kind Heav'n my love-watch share,
To guide thee in the right,
That thou dost walk in wisdom's way;

When Grady Was Starving.
INCIDENT IN THE EARLY LIFE OF THE BRIL-
LIANT JoURNALIsT.

1t is just about ten years ago-no, it's
eeven-that Grady arrived in Washington,
on his way from New York to Atlanta, a
very hungry man. AS he says himself in
telling the story az had been to New
York to seek employment as correspen-
dent for the Herald. Mr.. Bennett had ap-
pointed me the correspondent for the
Herald at good salary for the States of
Georgia, South Carolina and Florida. I
did not like to ask him for an advance; in
fact, gave him to understand by my man
ner that had pocketful of money. But,
as matter of fact, l had so little that
when got to Washington l had nothing
lefs except 80 cents and my ticket to At
lanta.
"Well, knew that it was long way to
Atlanta, and that would be apt to be hun
grier even than was then before got
home. said to myself: ''Shall l spend
all this money now on one good-by square
meal or shall spend it in bits on my way
DOWN. concluded finally that, inasmuch
as no one of the little bites might get on
the way home would give me even tempo
rary satisfaction, l. had better spend the
whole so cents for the biggest meal could
get and then hold out as best | could. So
I went into an eating house and said to the
proprietor : Give me as much to eat as you
can for so cents He did so and / ate it.
I never ate so much in my life before or
since.
"On the strength of that meal went on
all right until we got to Danville, where we
we're delayed for some reason three Or four
hours beyond the schedule time. This de-
lay, of course. had not reckoned on.-
After while we got started again, how:
ever, and we got on all right SO fat as the
train was concerned all the way home.-
But suffered the torrures of Tantalus. I
remember that an old woman had got on
near Danville with q big, old-fashioned
cheese box in her arms. By and by, just
4s the hunger began to take good grip on
me, she took off the lid. 1t was her lunch
box. She drew out all sorts of eatables,
me after the other, aud ate of each sparing-
y, throwing the remnant ont of the car
window. Oh, how exasperatipgly tanta-
living it was. I remember most distinctly
delicately Drowned chicken and deep.
dark old. fashioned pumpkiR pie. That
| wretched old woman just tasted that
chicken, just nibbled st that pie, and then
threw the rest away while sar starving in
the next seat.''- Washington Cor. Phata-
| delphia Record.

Many were discovered by acci-

the result of patient experiment

Nervous Dyspepsia is a COM
paratively sseac disease, growing
out of the conditions of modern
life. 1t is a joint affection of
the digestive organs and of the
nervous system. These two
were formerly treated as sepa-
rate ailments, and 1t was left
for the clears: 3ilted Shakers
to prove that tie basis Of this
terrible and often fatal ccmpli-
cation lies chiefly IN the disord-
cred and depi-avea functions of
digestion and nutrition. They
reasoned thus:-"If we can in
duce the stomach to do its
work, and stimulate the excre-
tive organs to drive out of the
body the poisonous waste mat

The Farm in February.

February, the shortest of the mouths,
standing between midwinter and the begin
ming of Spring, partakes, in a measure, of
the character of both seasons. We often
have our severest weather, and the laugh
ing sunshine, with the bland airs from the
sunny southland, give us occasionally few
almost summer days, as reminder that in
the never-ceasing round of the seasons,
Winter is departing and Spring advancing
The season of study. of planning and of
maturing plans is passing, while that of ac-
tive, telling work is at the door. prog

to and determination. Among the new
methods, new varieties, new crops, new
stock, new implements, new fertilizers con-
stantly offered and introduced, some are
worthy of immediate adoption, because
really better those we have had. Others
are temptingly offered with asseverations
and loudly supported claims that would
''deceive the very elect" but are absolutely
valueless. We should therefore make haste
slowly, and if farmer folks would only be
as ready to investigate those new things
that offer fair reward for good work as
they are co take to frauds that offer quick
and great profits without an equivalent in
labor, their progress would be rapid indeed.

LIVESTOCK MARKET-HnME AND Ex-
PORT. T.-Farmers are sure of good prices for
carefully reared mutton, and it is to their
interest to send to market only the best. 1t
will pay. The same remark applies to all
live stock. The best grades of all classes
bring price commensurate with the care
and good management with which they were
prepared for market There has been a
steady increase 10 the volume of Western
dressed beef in Eastern cities, and it is
transported in such condition that it has
become a formidable competitor of beef
raised at the East. In Great Britain the
supplies OF home cattle, and the receipts of
mutton from Australia and New Zealand,
and Of sheep from Canada, have had their
effect in regulating the prices of other ar
ticles in the English market The ihdica-
tions for 1887 are that our shipments abroad
will not be decreased from former years.
Farmers aud stock raisers should be greatly
encouraged by the prospects of our home
and foreign trade. The tendency is upward
and onward, and the best stock brings the
best prices.-American Agriculurist for
February.

From the Florida Chautauqua.
TWO sPECTERS,

Within an attic chamber,
In a tall house, SCARED and old,
With the shutters rattling mournfuliy,
The night was dark and cold.
Beside the broken window
light burned low and dim.
Two specters, Want and Woe, were there;
They each, with visage grim,
Watched pale and feeble woman,
AS she shivered by the light,
With wasted fingers fashioning
A tiny dress of white.
Beside her on q covered board,
Lay the pale and pulseless form
Ofa little child. The mothers voice
Sounded plaintive mid the storm -
81 am weeping, as my fingers
Draw tne weakly trembling thread,
For my precious bud is broken,
o. my tender nursling's dead!
How many-O how many
In their joyous homes are left,
While I. of my one precious lamb
So sorely am bereft!
o. my little one-my darling!
You are lying there so cold.
While your mothers heart Is breaking,
AND her eyes grow blind and OLD.
I've suffered-O so keenlyl
When you pined for lack of bread.
That I've oft cried eut. despairing.
Would God we both were deadr
Yet now l am very lonely
AS sew on your dress so white;
The last OF my boarded treasures
Is cut for my babe to night.
IT was my wedding-dres my darling.
A fitting garment for you,--
The very last ray OF sunlight
Will be buried deep from my view.
o God, have mercy" she pleaded
On her knees, in accents wild;
20 give me home with my darling
My little, sinless child;''
IT was an angel, fair and kindly,
Who bent Der her low-bowed head,
And the spscters vanished In darkness
From the room of the holy dead.
Some lowly women were weeping
Next day, In the early morn,
Ger the sorrowful scene-they knew not
Two angels to heaven were borne.
There were gentle hards. and tender.
Who sadly laid them away,
And many resolved more earnestly
To minister day by day.

In his speech at Caldwell, opening
the Ohio Republican campaign. Gov
ernor Foraker said:
What the people of the North want
is entire peace and fraternity for the
whole land and the people of every
section. But they want this peace
and good will on the basis of COM
plete recognition and acceptance OF
all the fruits and results of the war
and they will not have it otherwise.
They do not want and will not have
anything at the expense of writing
down the Union Soldiers as a lot of
tramps and vagabonds, nor upon the
condition that the men who sought to
destroy the Union shall be elevated
to the same plain of patriotism as the
men who saved it.
